Chapter 23: After the Great War (Revision)
When the morning star had just risen, Guo Chaodong left the heights with the last evacuated soldiers of the paratrooper regiment. Suddenly, looking back, I could see the few lonely trees left on the position after the heavy shelling.
Some of the severed branches were leaning diagonally on their still-standing trunks, like people sitting there thinking about something in the hazy morning light.
Guo Chaodong turned around and looked at his side, already waiting for the rest of his regimental headquarters. From the radio they already knew that the war was over for the time being for the paratroopers. But he still prepared the M-1 Eagle short assault rifle in his hand, and went down the mountain to directly cross the German position.
According to the agreement reached between Tang Yunyang and Prince Wilhelm of Germany, Thunder International's air and ground forces will not block the withdrawal of German rapid troops. At the same time, they cleaned up the battlefield and collected supplies without being disturbed by the German troops.
Therefore, when Guo Chaodong's paratrooper regiment came down from the high ground, the infantry soldiers of the 17th Army of the German Army, who had not yet withdrawn and were still dealing with the aftermath, almost said "goodbye" to them.
The morning light in the sky had lit up the mountain road, and as far as the eye could see, a large group of German soldiers and their logisticians were collecting the bodies of their soldiers on the hillside. It was only at this time that Guo Chaodong noticed their "achievements".
The mountains are almost covered with iron-blue military uniforms on the ground, and occasionally I see them illuminated ~ one ~ this ~ read ~ the peony cemetery, where are rows of rifles inserted into the ground, and steel helmets buckled on the butts?
The corpses of the soldiers of the paratrooper regiment had been carried down from their positions one by one to the makeshift camp at the bottom of the mountain. There were a large number of canvas body bags with glue on one side brought by airships. In the future, their ashes will be transported by airship all the way back to the motherland where they have tried to make it strong at the cost of their lives.
The German soldiers who were working also saw the paratroopers of the brigade descending the mountain. One by one, they stopped their work and straightened up. Look at these armies that they can't conquer with countless blood and tears, countless lives. Standing on the side of the road, they didn't say a word, just stared at them silently.
As the paratrooper brigade marched, more and more German soldiers lined up along the roadside. Guo Chaodong's heart swelled with an indescribable emotion, that is, these young soldiers around him had been fighting unrelentingly for two nights and one day in the face of German soldiers who were 10 times their own.
He looked up, and in addition to the approaching airships, there were several eagles hovering at their massive sides. Looking at those vigorous figures, Guo Chaodong's heart was damp. He thought of his many young soldiers, who had burned their lives for the moment of victory.
When the corners of your eyes are moist, your heart is surging! Suddenly, Guo Chaodong roared!
Eagle ......
Guo Chaodong's voice spread far and wide in the early morning of the rising sun.
The good, humid air of the early morning was already filled with the unpleasant smell of gunsmoke, blood, and poisonous gas. The young paratrooper soldiers who were moving forward took a deep breath and responded to Guo Chaodong's call in unison.
"Eagle ...... Hawk...... Hawk...... Condor......"
The cry was sent far away from the battlefield by the morning wind, reaching into the sky. The eagles that had been hovering in the sky seemed to be responding to this call, making a clear whistle in the sky.
At this time, on the airship in the sky, Tang Yunyang, who wanted to get the three future famous generals he dreamed of, was awakened by these calls. When I came to the porthole and looked down, I could see that the paratroopers were walking in a line towards the makeshift camp at the bottom of the mountain. When he stretched out his head to look, the loud military songs of the paratroopers were reaching Yunxiao from the lined up.
In the distance, you can see the dust covering the sky and the sun, if Tang Yunyang guessed correctly, those were the armored clusters of two tank regiments that rushed here overnight under the leadership of Patton and Li Erzhu.
Although the paratroopers who had just come down from the bloody heights were tired and half dead from continuous fighting, the victory they achieved was still full of joy in their hearts.
In a large open space under the high ground, large transport airships are constantly descending slowly under the good lighting conditions on the ground. Nearby were the wounded that the brigade had secured on a single plane, as well as the supplies that were being transported to the airship in vehicles.
After the airships were loaded with captured supplies, they took off again. The German ** team engaged in the battle with the paratrooper regiment will lose all their artillery, machine guns, ammunition and all other supplies except for small arms and rations.
"Sir, our paratrooper regiment is okay, we ......"
Tang Yunyang looked at Guo Chaodong, who saluted him, and felt excited in his heart. Two nights and one day of continuous combat made their faces tired and their eyes bloodshot. The clothes on his body were already torn into pieces in the rain of artillery fire, and they hung on his body like that.
"Commander Guo, all of your paratroopers immediately returned to Nancy City by airship with the captured supplies. I know the paratrooper can still fight, but now it's important to rest, and we'll take care of the rest here! ”
"Don't worry, we'll take care of the rest!"
Li Erzhuzi and Barton also followed and said that they had just arrived here with a cluster of tanks that had arrived here from St. Quentin. Here they will replenish the necessary ammunition and fuel before rushing to Compiègne. As long as you get there and sign an agreement with the Parisian authorities to relieve the siege, it will be considered complete.
It was still yesterday afternoon, after resting for a few hours after the battle of Laon Town, the two men who fought non-stop described it almost as Guo Chaodong. The eyes were red, and the only good thing was that they were in command of an all-armored force. With Hawkeye providing them with early warning, members of the vehicle can take turns to take a break.
Therefore, although their combat intensity is greater, their spirit is better.
For Tang Yunyang, another important thing is to pick up Guderian, Manstein, and Rommel. According to the agreement with the German Crown Prince Wilhelm, the three of them will be the only three prisoners of the battle, in exchange for the entire armored assault brigade that has been baptized in battle.
After sending off the paratrooper regiment, which had suffered serious losses in personnel and equipment after a bloody battle, Tang Yunyang got back into his jeep. Along the road, gallop towards the German armored assault brigade that was trapped halfway.
"No, don't fire! Put the gun down! ”
Rommel stretched out his hand to stop his men, already showing hostile intentions towards the soldiers. Although the ordinary soldiers didn't know why, they still put down the weapons they had raised.
But Rommel knew, and even prepared a new uniform for himself. At this moment, he stood between the two armored clusters with his hands behind his back and his chest up, his face unafraid, obviously not worried about his fate at all.
However, when he saw the opponent's tanks and the fleet of planes circling in the sky, he knew that the other party was the most prepared. If the three of them start a war with them, it will be nothing more than the officers and soldiers of the armored assault brigade with a shortage of fuel and ammunition.
It was now about 10 a.m., and the German armored assault brigade that was trapped on the road could finally get out of the almost endless rotten road that had been blown up to the surface of the moon by "ground destruction bombs". From here, it's almost entirely a good road.
But there was no possibility for them to move forward, and in front of them was an armored cluster led by Patton and Li Ergongzi. If you are a discerning person, you can find out how similar the equipment of Thunder International's tanks and armored vehicles is to the equipment of the German armored assault brigade.
Guderian, Manschuin, and Rommel came to Tang Yunyang, and on the side were the Marian witches full of translators.
"Smack"
When the three of them saluted, their movements were consistent and accurate, showing the good recuperation of the German people. As the commander, Guderian was neither humble nor arrogant in the face of Tang Yunyang, who was equally meticulous in returning the gift. He pulled out the pistol from his waist, and Rommel and Manstein pulled out their own pistols just like him.
(The first release of this book) does not laugh at group A: 35761481; E-mail: "No, please read the three letters first, and then order the armored assault lure to move on." In front are the units of your 17th Infantry Corps, and the temporarily armored assault brigade is under their command! ”
The three of them took the letter from their heavenly self and read it. In fact, apart from the different names, the contents of the three letters are completely addressed.
"In recognition of outstanding military achievements, I hereby promote the first permanent military rank...... You are hereby ordered to go to Thunder International as prisoners...... In the event of a change in mission, additional orders will be issued directly from the War Department. This order is top secret and will be destroyed when read,"
There were no surprises on the faces of the trio, and their whereabouts had been notified by the radio.
"Sir, allow us to say a short goodbye to our men!"
"Please!"
Tang Yunyang saw their helplessness through the perfect and impeccable military temperament of the three of them. Although the defeat in this battle had nothing to do with them, it seems that the final blame fell entirely on them. Because the three of them were the only prisoners left in this operation of Thunder International.
As for the other captives, they were released by Thunder International because the shiny German Golden Mark was better kept and more popular than them.
With joy, Tang Yunyang listened carefully to the farewell speech of Guderian and his staff that Marian Witch whispered for him!
"Although our time with you brothers and sisters is short, so short that we do not have time to taste the joy of victory and the sorrow of farewell, we will say that you are the most courageous warriors, and you have given everything you can for your country......
Listening to Guderian's speech, Tang Yunyang thought of the speech made by a general to his subordinates when the German army surrendered in "Band of Brothers". Looking at the strong friendship between them that was formed by life and death on the battlefield, Tang Yunyang sighed in his heart.
